If you must use this exact version for legacy compatibility (e.g., an old arcade cabinet or Windows 7 system), it remains a functional, if outdated, solution. Last reviewed: 2025. Use at your own risk – this driver modifies core USB and HID system files.

| Tool | Best for | Wireless DS3 | Wireless DS4 | |------|----------|--------------|--------------| | | DS4 & DS3 on Win 10/11 | Yes (with Zadig) | Yes | | BthPS3 + DSHidMini | DS3 only on modern Windows | Yes | No | | Steam Input | Steam games only | No (wired only) | Yes | | ScpToolkit (community fork) | Updated version of this driver | Yes | Limited | Final Recommendation Do not use scp-ds-driver-package-1.2.0.160 on Windows 10 or 11 unless you have a dedicated older machine (Windows 7/8).

Instead, install (for DS4) or BthPS3 + DSHidMini (for DS3). They are safer, signed, and actively supported.
